What EcoG does
EcoG is a Munich-headquartered platform company that provides software and hardware infrastructure for DC fast-charging networks serving electric vehicles. Founded in 2017 by Joerg Heuer, Johannes Hund, and Manuel Heckmann — all with Siemens heritage in telecommunications, power grid, smart grid, and Industrial IoT — the company has grown to roughly 60 employees across Munich and Detroit and operates in 19 nationalities. Its commercial position is anchored by 25,000+ deployed charging systems, 40+ powered charger manufacturers, 80+ charger series, 15% European market share, and 11% share in India, with first large-scale production customers in North America.
EcoG's core technology is the EcoG Universal Core, a hardware-agnostic IoT control platform that runs EcoG OS, an operating system for charging stations compliant with DIN70121, ISO 15118, CCS, CHAdeMO, and AC standards. The product portfolio includes charge controllers, EcoG Plug & Charge, EcoG Pay (AFIR/NEVI-compliant payments), distributed charging architecture reference designs (Powerblock and Dispenser Starter Kits), a REST-based OpenAPI, and a lifecycle management platform (LifeC). Megawatt Charging System (MCS, up to 3MW) support and bidirectional/V2G capability target heavy-duty commercial fleets. An ecosystem of 140+ partners spans chip vendors (Infineon, NXP, Qualcomm, MStar), component suppliers, certification bodies, payment networks, cloud providers, and 30+ car manufacturers, with CharIN membership supporting standardization influence.
The business model combines software licensing of EcoG OS to charger OEMs, sale of integrated hardware-software controllers and reference designs, and project-based professional services for development, certification, and onboarding. Pricing is quote-based with multi-year enterprise contracts. Revenue signals include announced profitable growth and quadrupling of quarterly sales in 2022, plus 4x market growth pace. The company has raised approximately €22M across Series A (€6M, December 2022) and Series B (€16M, November 2025, led by GET Fund, Extantia, and Bayern Kapital), with capital allocated to international growth, an innovation hub in Bavaria for e-truck technologies, and standardization of the Universal Core platform.

EcoG product offering
Product offeringCore offering
EcoG sells a hardware-agnostic IoT control platform (EcoG Universal Core / EcoG OS) and SECC-compliant charge controllers that let EV charging station manufacturers bring DC fast chargers to market quickly. The platform is complemented by reference designs, starter kits (Powerblock, Dispenser), payment and Plug & Charge add-ons, and a lifecycle management tool, and is delivered to manufacturers, charge point operators, and fleets across Europe, North America, and Asia.
Product overview
EcoG offers a platform-plus-modules architecture centered on its IoT control platform for EV chargers. The core products include EcoG Universal Core (the foundational agnostic IoT control platform), EcoG OS (the charger operating system), and EcoG Controllers (charge controller hardware). On top of this foundation, EcoG provides modules and add-ons including EcoG Applications (custom charging experiences), EcoG Pay (payment solutions for AFIR/NEVI compliance), EcoG Plug & Charge (simplified Plug & Charge implementation), and LifeC (lifecycle management). EcoG also offers reference architectures and starter kits (Powerblock Starter Kit, Dispenser Starter Kit) that provide reference designs for building charging hardware. The products work together: the Universal Core/OS runs on the Controllers, enabling communication between vehicles, components, and backend systems, while applications and value-added services are built on top of the operating system. The ecosystem includes 140+ partner companies across the charging value chain.

EcoG competitors and assessment
Company assessmentOthers
- Hubject: Hubject operates the leading eRoaming platform for EV charging and a Plug & Charge certificate authority — also an EcoG partner via Hubject's certificate authority for ISO 15118 P&C. Adjacent enabling layer rather than a direct charger OS competitor, but overlaps on interoperability services.
Direct peers
- Nuvve: Nuvve is a V2G and smart charging software platform operating at the intersection of EVs, batteries, and grid services. Directly comparable to EcoG's bidirectional charging work with The Mobility House, with overlapping focus on ISO 15118, V2G aggregation, and grid-flexibility revenue stacking.
- Driivz: Driivz is an EV charging management software platform serving charge point operators and utilities with a cloud-based OS for network management, billing, and energy optimization. Directly comparable to EcoG as a software-of-record layer for the EV charging stack, with similar CPO/multi-vendor focus.
- Greenlots (Shell Recharge Solutions): Greenlots, now Shell Recharge Solutions, provides EV charging network management software and services to utilities, fleets, and site hosts globally. Similar platform-centric GTM to EcoG with enterprise-grade software licensing and a focus on interoperability, now operating as part of Shell's broader energy transition offering.
Emerging players
- Wallbox: Wallbox is a smart EV charging company offering Pulsar, Commander, and Quasar (bidirectional) chargers with its own myWallbox app platform. Comparable to EcoG on bidirectional charging and consumer-facing charging experiences, though more focused on AC/residential than EcoG's DC OEM focus.
Broad incumbents
- ChargePoint: ChargePoint is one of the largest EV charging hardware and network software providers in North America and Europe, operating a broad portfolio of AC and DC chargers with its own cloud management platform. A broad incumbent that competes with EcoG's CPO-facing software and overlaps on DC hardware reference designs.
- ABB E-mobility: ABB E-mobility is a global incumbent in DC fast-charging hardware with its own software stack and a major footprint in highway and depot charging. EcoG is also a customer/partner of ABB's broader portfolio, but ABB competes directly as an integrated hardware+software provider.
- EVBox: EVBox is a European EV charging hardware manufacturer (now part of Engie-backed ecosystem) with its own AC and DC product lines and a backend management platform. Comparable to EcoG as a competing European charging stack with overlap on CPO-facing software and modular charging architecture.
- Alfen: Alfen is a Dutch provider of EV charging stations, smart grids, and energy storage solutions with a strong European footprint in AC and DC charging hardware plus its own management software. Comparable to EcoG in the European DC charging market with an integrated hardware+software approach.
Regional players
- Tritium: Tritium is an Australian DC fast-charging hardware manufacturer serving North America, Europe, and APAC with liquid-cooled chargers. Overlaps with EcoG as a DC hardware specialist, though Tritium ships complete hardware rather than the OS/control layer that EcoG licenses to OEMs.
